Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the continuous production of a 1,3-dioxolane-2-one of formula (I) where R1 represents hydrogen or an organic radical comprising 1 to 40 carbon atoms and R2 and R3, which can also be bonded to one another to form a five-membered or six-membered ring, independently represent hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl. In said method, a product from the reaction zone is separated by means of a semipermeable membrane in order to separate secondary polymer products.

Description

1, during producing, separates 3-dioxolane-2-ketone the membrane separating method of high boiling material
The present invention relates to a kind of continuous preparation 1, the method for 3-dioxolane-2-ketone, wherein the reaction zone discharging is carried out classification to isolate polymeric by-products by semi-permeable membranes.
Prepare 1 by respective rings oxide compound (for example ethylene oxide or propylene oxide) is reacted in the presence of the catalyzer that evenly is dissolved in the liquid phase in liquid phase with carbonic acid gas, 3-dioxolane-2-ketone such as ethylene carbonate or Texacar PC are known.This method for example is described among DE 19819586 A1.The aftertreatment of reaction discharging, promptly removing to be recycled in the reaction zone of the separation of product and catalyzer undertaken by currently known methods such as distillation, extraction or stripping.Conventional procedure comprises that the bottoms that goes out low-boiling-point substance and product and will comprise catalyzer subsequently by fractionation by distillation is recycled in the reaction.The shortcoming of this program is the height by product that boils of reaction, and for example ring-type and the linear polyether that is produced by used epoxide accumulates in the reaction system.These molecular weight can cause the increase of catalyst recycle materials flow viscosity up to about 20000 daltonian high boiling material.For example, therefore have to the distillation substrate that is rich in high boiling material is regularly removed from system with the catalyzer that wherein exists by in the distillatory aftertreatment.This causes this method and produces detrimentally affect economically because of catalyzer that required shut-down of equipment and high boiling material processing produce and product loss.Therefore need a kind of continuous preparation 1 that does not have these shortcomings, the method for 3-dioxolane-2-ketone.
Semi-permeable membranes is isolated the homogeneous catalyzer in synthesizing continuously purposes is known.These methods for example are described among DE 10328713 A1 and DE 10328715 A1.Yet these methods are intended to solve chemically different problems, i.e. two kinds of additions that have the terminal olefin of at least two functional groups.From preparation 1, in the reaction discharging of 3-dioxolane-2-ketone, also as 1 of reaction solvent, 3-dioxolane-2-ketone and catalyzer obtain with mixture high boiling material with usually in aftertreatment.Because 1,3-dioxolane-2-ketone form the balanced reaction that is different from chemical action described in DE 10328713 A1 and DE 10328715 A1, should anticipate in this case by the epoxide that forms in the reversed reaction (for example by epoxide and reactive functional groups on the film surface and/or the reaction in the fenestra) or deposit the irreversible obstruction of film that causes on film or in the film by the polymerisate of epoxide.In addition, should anticipate that the further addition by epoxide makes the chain extension that is deposited on the polymkeric substance in film surface or the fenestra will play negative influence for the irreversible obstruction of film.
Now be surprisingly found out that, can height be boiled (polymerization) by product from 1, isolate in the reaction discharging of 3-dioxolane-2-ketone by membrane separating method.The special high boiling material that surprisingly separates from the membrane sepn retention can or be accumulated in the remarkable decline that occurs membrane permeability on the film surface and/or in the fenestra not owing to polymer deposition.Therefore method of the present invention also is favourable for the polymeric by-products of removing formation continuously.The regular shut-down of equipment and the uneconomical loss of catalyzer can be avoided.
Therefore, the invention provides 1 of a kind of continuous preparation general formula I, the method for 3-dioxolane-2-ketone,
